Managers playing their Free Hit chip in Gameweek 29 of Fantasy Premier League could be tempted to pick Jack Grealish (£7.5m).

Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith has confirmed that Grealish could return to face Tottenham Hotspur having missed the last five matches with a leg injury.

“I’m hopeful for Jack," Smith told the club's official website. "I’ll leave it until Sunday morning. He’s not trained with us at the moment, but he’s pain-free and he’s running. Ultimately, it will be his decision."

With doubts still remaining over his fitness, managers without the Free Hit chip are unlikely to pick the midfielder. 

But that could raise the appeal of Grealish for those willing to take a one-Gameweek risk on his fitness.

He has produced his two highest hauls this season at Villa Park, recording 24 points against Liverpool and 15 points against Southampton in Gameweeks 4 and 7 respectively.

Grealish's 24-point haul

Grealish's total of 36 chances created at home this season is also more than double any team-mate. 

Spurs, meanwhile, face Villa on the back of two demoralising away defeats.

Jose Mourinho's side lost 2-1 to north London rivals Arsenal last weekend and were knocked out of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening, conceding three goals to Dinamo Zagreb.

If Grealish is passed fit, he could prove a key figure for both Villa and Free Hit chip managers in Gameweek 29.
